Florentines

Every year, I give my business partner a homemade baked good for the holidays. This year, it's Cook's Illustrated's florentines, which have just a hint of orange from marmalade and zest, and the perfect crunch. It's really, easy, too, provided you have a food processor to grind the almonds and enough parchment paper for all the batches.

Grab the recipe now if you want it, as Cook's takes them down within a month or two of posting. This one's well worth making any time of year.
